John Grigsby Geiger's Nothing Is True Everything Is Permitted: The Life of Brion Gysin, as published by The Disinformation Company (NYC) in 2005. Cover design by Anlända with a cover photo of Brion Gysin by Carl Van Vechten. Back cover photo of Gysin by Harold Chapman.
As one might expect with a book on Brion Gysin, William S. Burroughs is referenced throughout, and owns a number of entries in the index.
In addition, there are two photos of Burroughs in the center of the book – one by Loomis Dean and the other by Ira Cohen.
On the back cover of the book is a quote on Gysin by William S. Burroughs: "He was the only man I have ever respected. I have admired many others, esteemed and valued others, but respected only him."
The first page of the book centers on the following quote from Burroughs' Last Words: The Final Journals: "Whose biographer could I be? Only one person. Brion Gysin. Well, get in touch with Geiger. Get on it. My past."
